PROBLEM:The Sony Music office was moving to a new building on a main arterial road in Mumbai. Visual screening would be necessary for the three office floors looking onto the street, and plants would be needed to reduce sound levels from the road as well.
The entrance to the building, in a shaded space, would have to be a corridor of green, screening sound, but would have to provide some seats and lighting as well.
SOLUTION:For the office levels we selected sturdy plants that could handle the wind shear on the front of the building, while making sure that atleast one floor had plants that would be edible (for humans) and other plants to attract songbirds what with our clients being in the music business.
The entrance was designed and planted with plants that could take full advantage of the limited space and work with the trellis to make a 'green tunnel'.
This effectively buffers noise from the street, as well as creates a space that would be pleasing to people using the outdoor seating.
